Game Thread: Illinois vs Alabama

[Oldskoolkoach]

Lol...wow, shot clock violation. Stojakovic doesnt have the greatest handles, lot of sloppy dribbling

 

[TheDukeUIUC]

Need Andrej and Boz to steady our ship here

And they pass the ball around to each other and earn us a shot clock violation

 

[blife]

Shot clock brain f#rt not ideal

 

[BlabDunkAnd1]

I am honestly amazed we’re not down by more at this point

 

[stlrunner]

Man, why did Bam pass up that 3?

 

[Iamgroot]

We still not out of it yet though

Not yet but time is running out a couple of defensive stops would go a long way

 

[ChiTown]

What else can we do wrong?

Since you asked,we haven’t scored into our own basket yet.

 

[KCBassin]

Missed 2 bunnies (at least) and 4 free throws every big game the offense seems to lose all confidence and get the yips

 

[Mistakenj]

Our lack of athleticism is showing. Said this was going to be an issue once we played an athletic team

 

[Jimbo]

I still feel like we’ll win this. Call me crazy.

 

[DeeIL89]

What's annoying is Bama hasn't shot the 3 well either in the 2nd half, but they are out physical us and that's why they have this lead.

Houston as a lot better on defense...but Tide are better on the other end.

Problem tonight is that our two big Ivisic brothers are hobbled and out of shape with our two PFs having a bad night scoring.

 

[sacraig]

Clearly a team that hasn’t practice a ton together

I think this is it right here.

 

[RML]

I have a feeling we're gonna somehow pull this off.

Bama athleticism is a problem on both ends. We aren't making them pay with our size.

Our Achilles' heel right now.

They did fine against Texas Tech. We are more out of sorts tonight.

 

[SuperMetroid]

That and the Ivisi both being on one leg

 

[ILLFAN67]

Way to many empty possessions

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

Down 4. COME ON.

 

[FloridaMan]

Fans doing their part, will the players?
